Pro Audio Technology (PRO), a supplier of high-powered speakers and DSP speaker controllers for private screening rooms, is celebrating its 20th anniversary and will be introducing a new speaker line at CEDIA Expo 2024 to mark the occasion.
The California-based company claims that its five new multi-purpose speakers fill a void at the premium end of the market for high-output, compact and flexible audio solutions for commercial and residential fixed and portable installations.
PRO speakers are made to order in the USA and are engineered to deliver lifelike dynamics, high maximum output levels and refined sonic performance. For the past 20 years, this high-performance manufacturer has focused on designing and manufacturing a complete line of speakers and DSP amplified speaker controllers to meet the needs of luxury residential installations, bringing cinema-like sound to the home, especially premium private screening rooms.
“We're incredibly proud to celebrate the 20th anniversary of PRO, and there couldn't be a better time to introduce the next generation of PRO products,” said Paul Hales, founder and product designer at Pro Audio Technology. “The new speakers are specifically designed to fill a niche at the premium end of the residential and commercial market, with a family of products that combine flexibility, compactness, ease of installation and the ability to approach sound reinforcement levels while still delivering true hi-fi like sound.”
PRO Audio Technology Celebrates Anniversary with Five New Products
At CEDIA Expo 2024, the company is showcasing a new line of speaker models that, while commercially focused, are also of particular interest for high-end dvLED (or video wall as it is commonly called) installations. PRO's new speakers are compact and offer designers and integrators a high-output premium audio solution that can be installed in places where space is limited, without compromising aesthetics.
The new PRO speakers are designed with the integrator in mind through features such as ergonomic handles, multiple fly points, industry-standard mounting points and pole cups. PRO's optional PRO SplitYoke multi-purpose mounting bracket makes it easy to install all PRO Commercial speakers on walls, ceilings, floors and other surfaces, and the company notes that the PRO SplitYoke Brack Kit works with all five models, so no additional accessories are needed.
PRO also highlights that dealers can make any model instantly portable by adding the PRO Caster Kit, designed for the CF-212.3 full-range speaker or CLF-212 subwoofer. Once the casters are attached, integrators simply roll the speaker into place, connect the speaker wires to an external Theory speaker controller, and it's ready to play. This convenience, PRO offers, is especially ideal for DJs, outdoor events, corporate venues, hospitality and other applications where big, clear, full-range sound is required. All-weather versions of each model are also available.
